There were rumors that the processors Skylake-X, designed for high-performance desktop systems (HEDT), will be released in a new line of Intel Core i9. Our colleagues from Guru3D have found the first results of synthetic performance tests for the new Intel Skylake-X processors.

Our colleagues found the results of testing the two older models of the new line in the UserBenchmark performance test. These are Intel Skylake-X processors, which have 10 and 12 physical cores, which, according to unofficial data, will be called Core i9-7900X and Core i9-7920X, respectively. The UserBenchmark test evaluates processors based on integer and floating point calculations.

The processor Core i9-7900X showed a result of 107 points with one active core, and 1467 points using all ten cores. The base frequency of the processor was 3.1 GHz, but frequencies in Turbo Boost modes are not specified. In turn, the 12-core Core i9-7920X processor showed a result of 130 and 1760 points, in single and multi-core modes, respectively. According to the test, its base frequency was 2.9 GHz, and the average Boost-frequency was 3.25 GHz.

For comparison, the current flagship - the 10-core Intel Core i7-6950X processor, in this test demonstrates the results in 116 points and single-core and 1525 points in the multi-core mode. That is, the performance of Intel's new 10-core desktop processor will be about the same as that of the current 10-core flagship.
